Stage and Screen legend Katharine Hepburn died on June 29, 2003, at the ripe old age of 96. She passed away at her home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, and was buried in her family's plot at the nearby Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford. Hepburn's acting career spanned seven decades, and she was by far the most decorated actor of her generation with 12 Academy Award nominations for Best Actress and four wins in the category. She was also nominated for four Emmys and won for Love Among the Ruins (1975). The American Film Institute ranked Hepburn as the top female star in its "50 Greatest Movie Legends." However, Hepburn was known as much for her larger-than-life personality as for her acting prowess. She was once quoted as saying, "I'm a personality as well as an actress. Show me an actress who isn't a personality and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star."
